Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Cool, this is the first pic I've seen of a USNFWS 'Top Gun' F-16A/B (instead of NSAWC). Is it the only one, or did you see more? I checked you website but couldn't find a log.

Hello Joris,

I also just find one other Picture in an US Forum... but in flight and soft.
In 99% I dont post a Log. Because most the Jets are not new or Iam not sure about
the Regs. Its more an Job for the Pro Regspotter.

@ All:
Thx for your comments! :respect:
